TTY Port Monitor: ttymon

The ttymon port monitor is STREAMS-based. It monitors ports; sets terminal modes, baud rates, and line disciplines; and invokes the login process. (It provides Solaris users the same services that getty did under previous versions of SunOS 4.1 software.)

The ttymon port monitor runs under the SAC program. It is configured using the sacadm command. Each instance of ttymon can monitor multiple ports. These ports are specified in the port monitor's administrative file. The administrative file is configured using the pmadm and ttyadm commands.
